The Pac-12 Coast-to-Coast Challenge offers a lot of opportunities for the Arizona Wildcats. They will play a marquee game in Las Vegas. It will be aired on ESPN. It will be against a Texas team that is ranked eleventh in the country. And it will give Arizona women’s basketball a chance to do what they seem to have to do every year: disprove the doubters.
It’s not the first time that a game against Texas offered that to the Wildcats.
In Nov. 2019, Arizona was climbing the ladder. The team was coming off their WNIT Championship season and had one of the best players in the country, but they still weren’t getting attention or respect.
